Twitter Bootstrap dropdown menu

I'm trying to use Twitter Bootstrap's dropdown menu in its top nav bar. You can see an example working here. http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/#

In mine, the arrow indicating that it's a dropdown shows on the menu but when I hover or click on it it doesn't reveal my dropdown links. I think I've included all the necessary classes, and I don't believe Twitter's requires javascript.

Can you see what I'm doing wrong?

My dropdown

  <div class='topbar' data-dropdown="dropdown">

  <div class='fill'>
    <div class='container'>
    <ul class="nav">

      <li><%= link_to 'Home', main_app.root_path %></li>
          <li><%= link_to 'Outlines', main_app.outlines_path %></li>
       <li class="dropdown">
        <a href="#" class="dropdown-toggle">Assessment</a>
        <ul class="dropdown-menu">
        <li><a href="#">second link </a></li>
        <li><a href="#">third link </a></li>
        </ul>
      </li>

  ..... I go on to close all the divs etc. The nav bar looks great but the dropdown just doesn't work.

Twitter Bootstrap

<div class="topbar" data-dropdown="dropdown">
  <div class="topbar-inner">
    <div class="container">
      <h3><a href="#">Project Name</a></h3>
      <ul class="nav">
        <li class="active"><a href="#">Home</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Link</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Link</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Link</a></li>
        <li class="dropdown">
          <a href="#" class="dropdown-toggle">Dropdown</a>
          <ul class="dropdown-menu">
            <li><a href="#">Secondary link</a></li>
            <li><a href="#">Something else here</a></li>
            <li class="divider"></li>
            <li><a href="#">Another link</a></li>
          </ul>
        </li>
      </ul>
      <form class="pull-left" action="">
        <input type="text" placeholder="Search">
      </form>
      <ul class="nav secondary-nav">
        <li class="dropdown">
          <a href="#" class="dropdown-toggle">Dropdown</a>
          <ul class="dropdown-menu">
            <li><a href="#">Secondary link</a></li>
            <li><a href="#">Something else here</a></li>
            <li class="divider"></li>
            <li><a href="#">Another link</a></li>
          </ul>
        </li>
      </ul>
    </div>
  </div><!-- /topbar-inner -->
</div>

You must include jQuery in the project.

<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

I didn't find any doc about this so I just opened a random code example from tutorialrepublic.com http://www.tutorialrepublic.com/twitter-bootstrap-tutorial/bootstrap-dropdowns.php

Hope this helps someone else.

I had a similar problem and it was the version of bootstrap.js included in my visual studio project. I linked to here and it worked great

 <script src="//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.1.1/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>

It actually requires inclusion of Twitter Bootstrap's dropdown.js

It's also possible to customise your bootstrap build by using:

http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/customize.html

All the plugins are included by default.
